CONTINUOUS COMPOSITE BEAM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF CONTINUOUS COMPOSITE BEAMS AND SLABS ANALYSIS | DESIGN | DETAILING | X02
To calculate the plastic bending resistance of the section, the module determines the plastic neutral axis (PNA) location of the section. It does this by balancing the contributing horizontal forces (based on plastic stresses) in the composite cross- section. In the shear connection calculations, the module checks headed studs for adherence to the ductility requirements for steel sections with equal flanges. It also checks resistance to vertical shear.
